1998 Volkswagen New Beetle TDi 2dr Hatchback

Review

I ordered this car Jan.1998 after
sitting in one at the Vancouver
International Auto Show (I'm 6'5"). But
its so much better than just an economy
car with headroom. Beetles handle
well. The torque launches
the car off traffic lights faster than
most "performance" cars! Maneuvering
in tight locations is a breeze, and
there are parking spots it will fit
into everywhere.
LOW POINTS:
- its low to the ground ... if you
encounter lots of snow its not the car
for you.
- the suspension doesn't have the
travel to soak up bumps like a typical
German car.
- the back seat is NOT for adults. (but
kids love it)
Other than that its reliable and
economical.
